Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 4 dl wheat flour (about 1.6 cups)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tbsp light syrup (or corn syrup)
- 1 tsp bicarbonate (baking soda)
- 3/4 cup oatmeal
Wet Ingredients
- 200 g butter or margarine (soft and at room temperature, about 0.9 cups)
- 1 tbsp water
Add-ins
- 1 bag cranberries (optional)
- 250 g white chocolate (about 9 oz)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a large bowl, mix together the wheat flour, sugar, light syrup, bicarbonate, water, oatmeal, butter, and cranberries (if using) until everything is combined into a firm dough.
- Shape the dough into round balls and flatten them on a baking sheet, making each cookie about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter. Alternatively, you can divide the dough into two rolls, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once chilled, cut the dough into cookies about 0.5 cm thick.
Baking
- Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for 6-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Finishing Touches
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the white chocolate by melting it. Allow the cookies to cool after baking.
- Once cool, dip half of each cookie in the melted white chocolate and return them to the baking sheet.
- Finally, let the cookies cool and set until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
The best way to enjoy Farmer's Cookies is with a tall glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. They also pair wonderfully with tea for an afternoon treat. Consider adding chopped nuts or spices for variation, and store in an airtight container.
